The Kenyan National Treasury has approved the payment of KSh 225 billion to clear verified pending bills.
An immediate disbursement of KSh 80 billion has been released specifically to settle debts within the road sector.
The remaining KSh 175 billion is scheduled to be paid out in the coming months.
This move is intended to stimulate the economy by increasing liquidity among suppliers and contractors, many of whom have faced financial distress due to long-overdue payments.
The Treasury has emphasized that only genuine and verified bills will be honored. An audit by the Pending Bills Verification Committee recently found that nearly half of the total KSh 665 billion in claims were ineligible.
Earlier in late 2025, the government also secured approximately KSh 77 billion through local bank loans and used securitization of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund to specifically target stalled infrastructure projects.
